A gentleman of high aianding promptly responded " ibat he did say ao, and that it could aot ba denied.'1 Mr. C proceeded, and said, na tho Beit point there could ba 00 donial, tho geo llemao waa committed 00 fi prr. Ia a lata publi. cation he had asserted, that tbo pet band system waa lha worst pramldo syaiem, and cmplainwd thai Mr. C. had called il hia favourite. Mr. Calhoun tbea reruarkod,' that if it waa iho worst possible, it of course was worse lhaa a Natimal Dank, or the Sub-lreaaury, and that it fotlowed, that if brought to an alternative he, G-.

I la said, I bey agreed also 00 another point, that Iho public money ehoutd not ba uawd by Iho baoka for tho purprM of profit, or their benefit. . He then aaked, in what did they dieagroa, and said it eoa staled in tho gentleman bring in favour of the spe cial depoaito ay atom, and he, Mr. C, io favour of the Constitutional Treasury. Mr. C then stated what the special depoaite system waa, and what the constitutional treasury waa, and concluded by say ing, thnt if ho should he abb to prove thai tbo ape. rial depoaite system was io point of fact but a mod. iGcaiion of. lha pel hank eyatem 4hat l gave tho banks to tha fi!l aa much benefit from the putdie funda aa the pel bank aytem, and that in every re. pect it waa fully aa bad, and In some much worse, il would follow of Cimre that the gentleman would be bound to abanda il for Iho constitutional tree ury, or stand condemned j hit own admission. Hure Mr,,C. went into a emrpariaoa between the t bank syaiem aa fftnbtUhed by lha act of 1930, and the Scil di'poeite a)atem as dofined by Gen. T. himalf. Wa will not pretend to follow him in tire argument Hut be conclusively proved 19 onr mind, end we believe that of every impartial man who underatood lha aubjct, ibat the two systems weft identical in almoat every reaper! and Ibat one gave the nse of the puMiSTunda o"" the banks as completely as the other, and atao. that io til the point of diderenee, lha ad vnntago was decided! r in favour of the pet bank system. He concluded by calling on the gentleman In abandon his scheme, or to refute bia argumeota if ha could, which ha held lo be impossible, and mid if he did not ha would stand eclf-condemned. Mr. Calhoun then an id that so Ur a Gen. T. was concerned, ho would clone iho argument. That he, Gen. T., had no right lo utter a word until do dmld eiftricate himself from the dilemma lo which he waa placed. ' Uul Mr. C. proceeded and aaid I hut bo fcll it was due lo tha audionco who had as sembled wild a view of forming an opinioo. upon the importiint suhjorl under consideration, to an ewer eome of Iho lending ohjrrliona lo the Conati. lutional treasury, and lo elate some of in principal advantage. - - " " "" " ' He began with the objection that II would load lo an exclusive metallic currency. He dented that such was the obiecL or aoch would be its coose. quences, Vhich he very ealWaetorily established, and concluded by ahowini', that so far from over throwing the etate bank, it was tho only means of preventing them from running into execs, and be ing subject Id similar convulaions to thai which lately occurred, except the 'unconHiitutional and dnngerona measure of a National Bank. .'r : ..: : ; Mr. C Ibon took up tha next objection, that if the revenue wore collected io gold and silver, il woild4roHfcr a vaM amount nf the precious me tal firgrjrYtie south to tho north, aa more waa co.

That however col lected, whether In nld or silver, or In bank notes, that which waa not spent with ouraelvea must be paid for, either in the ftnpte commodities of the tooth, or in gold or silver. This he said would be ctearly il)utrated by Iho manner of making pay. merits at tho Irea-mry i which was this. If the government for inntatice, had' mora nnmey in Charleston thin it wanted there, and it was wanted lo meet expenditurea In New York, the practice ia to give an nrder In the creditor in New York for tb amount due him lo be paid in Charleston.- This ia iixii'illv passed into the bands of some mer cluui who deals in Charleston, who aenda it to his agent there, with directions to romit the amount in secie, or to purchase our produce aa may be most profitable to him. If liie revenues bo collected in buW notes, and he find the shipment of specie would be moat profitable, ha drawe it from tbo bank and send ii to hia employer t but if it ba mora profitable, the amount whether collected in apecie or note, will be inveeted io produce.

Gen. Thompson followed and occupied much aboui iho same lima. Hia speech wa io hie beet rnanner--'deiterouaand artful. Bui in our opinion and all wa have heard ex preeved, bo signally failed io meeting the argument. His speech merely con sifted in repeating his old argument.1 That lha sub-treasury would overthrow Iho bank and intro duce an exclusive, metallic currency, but hia proofs were a foebla as hia assertion were strong.. He dwelt alao upon hi favorite argument, that il would tramifttr all lha gold and silver lo lha north, but without any aatufactory answer to Mr. C a argu ment on this point. Ho dwelt much upon tha cor rvption of the public officer, of lha numeron fraud lhal exiated, which ba attributed In the sub-treasury. He spoke of Iho falling off of the revenue, the embarraaement of the treasury, the vast expen diture of puUic money, the contraction nf a public debt I til of which be attributed lo the sub-lreaaury. In reply to a remark of Mr. C. that tha sub-lrea aury, in spite of all the predictions tn lha contrary, bad restored specie payments, and had done it in a shorter lime and not with a fifth part of tha pres. sure, lhat had followed when effected by the bank in 117, be asserted lhat the rub-tiwury, could not be the rc storatimti aa it was not io exigence, for tho officers of the government had been recciv ing bank nolea during the whole lime. He also dwelt at length on the amallneas of the importatione during ihe last year, Whkh he atlriboted lo it, and stated with great confidence thai it would effectual ly prohibit importation la any great amount, but without aaaiirninft any adequate reason. He alio undertook lo extricate himself from iho difficulty in which he wad placed by Mr. C in reference lo the special depoaite. But here again be otgnally failed, and aa we believe, even id the opinion of hi friend.

Like all other great who have chalked out a eoura lo pursue at all event through good and evil report, Mr. Calhoun baa bad many aenou ei(- bcutttee to encounter. Attached to Ihe Conatita lino as il is, he has ever had to contend with tali ludinariaa constructionist ; and in order to sustain himself whilst advocating paramount objacta and inlereata, ha aoroetimea been compelled to yield minor one. Dy aoma, theae act nf lofty patriot iera have been mistaken for varaatility of diepcti. Hon, and bonce Mr. laJhoun hi often been acce- sed nf lacking rngleneaa of purpoae stability of character. But it eeem to o thai hia aecuarr are wide from Ihe fad of hia case. The too of ten mistake hi rootivee, and hence view hi action through a false medium. No mao keep hi eye more steadily Axed on Ibe leading object of hi pursuit, and no man moves more directly Inward them. But Mr. Calhoun 1 ton clear-eiahted and sagacious too much of a friend to his country to permit bimaeirio become the victim of obstinacy. He know full well that minor oltiects mud some times be yielded in order to obtain major one, and when placed in Ihia predicament he baa not beaita Lted in hi course. For tbi conduct hia pur blind opponent have brought against hire railing ccu liona, and even charged hi 10 with lacking political honesty. ' But could they clearly see the motives which have at all timer influenced Ihe conduct of Mr. Calhoun, we have the charity to believe that tbey would not beeitste in withdrawing their ehvgeo. Time, we trust, will dispel the mist lhal now obscure the mental viaion of all such per sons, and will enable them 10 see Ihe motive and action of lhat sincere friend lo hi country in a clear point of view. In our opinion, judging from 1 present appearance in every part of this widely extended Republic, that time will shortly arrive. - Fatal tjectiof Somnambulitm.
